Take the flour in flat vessal. Mix all the ingredients and add 1 tsp of cooking oil. Knead the flour using water. When properly kneaded leave aside for 15 min. Make medium sized balls of the dough. With help of rolling pin roll the balls into small round shapes, make them thicker than chapati. Roast it on hot tava. Apply oil while roasting. Roast both sides properly. And remove it from tava.

Aditonal tips:
You can use ghee instead of oil for roasting. As the theplas are thicker than chapatis roast it on medium heat and make sure it gets roasted properly on both sides. Use chili or lime pickle along with these thepla.
